Mermaid Inn on Urbanspoon

The Mermaid Inn in the East Village has always had a solid reputation for a restaurant that knows how to prepare seafood and while I had never visited, I had it on my radar for quite some time.  When a location opened up on the Upper West Side, I immediately enlisted a friend to go and try it.

If you watch the Food Network, you'll probably recognize the executive chef right away when you walk into Centro Vinoteca and look into the open kitchen. It's both surprising and impressive that she's been there every time I've ate at Centro Vinoteca since a lot of famous chefs these days seem to be absentee (Anne Burrell has since left to pursue more of a TV career but she was there). I've always just wandered in for a late night dinner or a good start to the evening and it has quickly become one of my favorite meals and settings.

Elettaria on Urbanspoon
[CLOSED]

Elettaria is a hidden gem on an unfortunate street caught in-between everything and located at nothing.  The stretch that the restaurant is located on is through way connecting the West Village to Greenwich Village and you'd never expect to find an intimate, eclectic and hip place beside all the discount shoe stores and fro-yo kiosks.  The rich red door is your first indication that this place is different from its surroundings and the low ceilings, dark interior and long, inviting bar top confirms this.

We first discovered this place when we were craving a late night snack and while we thought we wanted burgers from Corner Bistro, we changed our minds once we got there.  Dell'Anima is located just across the street and while they only offered their pasta dishes that late at night, they were enough to have me come back again and again.
